The days when Alan Wake was associated only with the Xbox, that is, with Xbox and Steam, where the charismatic writer achieved perhaps the greatest commercial and critical success, are gone forever. This is proven by the fact that we first gameplay trailer from the upcoming survival horror movie Alan Wake 2 during the PlayStation Showcase 2023 event.
Source: FacilitiesAlan Wake 2 will release in October, according to Alan’s voice actor.
The trailer suggests that we are waiting for a visually appealing and technically advanced part, running on the proprietary Northlight engine from the creators of the Finnish studio Remedy. Although first of all shows that two playable protagonists are waiting for us. Of course, we will again play for Alan himself, who, after the events of the first part from 2010, is still imprisoned in the Dark Place, where he went after visiting the depths of Cauldron Lake near the town of Bright Falls. In addition to him, we will also take on the role of an FBI agent named Saga Anderson.
If most of the names and events in the previous paragraph mean nothing to you, don’t worry. Thomas Puha of Remedy promised on the PlayStation Blog that Alan Wake 2 is suitable even for those who have never played the original or the remaster, released in 2021. It was extremely important for the creators to create an experience suitable for both newcomers and longtime fans. The difficulty will be the same. With Remedy, they intend to honor the core pillars of the survival horror genre, which marks a significant departure from the genre’s first installment as an action-thriller.. However, the gameplay can be quite challenging depending on your choices, or not so challenging for those who mainly want to enjoy a carefully crafted game story.
The plot of Alan Wake 2 focuses on a series of ritual murders threatening Bright Falls. Here comes Saga Anderson, a successful agent with a reputation for solving impossible cases. But visiting idyllic Bright Falls turns into a nightmare once an agent shows up. pages of a horror story that is starting to turn into reality around Anderson. And that naturally leads to the trail of Alan Wake, the horror writer who disappeared 13 years ago.
Alan himself, whose work has penetrated through the AWE DLC into the world of Remedy’s Control, is still writing a story with which he can shape the reality around him and escape from the nightmare in which he is imprisoned. However, in the Dark Place, he is haunted by the horrors of darkness, so Wake must also try to keep his sanity and beat the devil at his own game.
It’s interesting that once the unspecified events happen, we can replay Alan and Anderson’s stories in any order.. The dark, unsettling journeys of both characters are meant to complement, mirror, and foreshadow each other so that we can determine for ourselves how we will experience the story of Alan Wake 2.
New from Remedy will also offer several unique locations. Anderson’s story brings us specifically to three mushrooms. – the city of Bright Falls itself, the surroundings of Lake Cauldron and the inhospitable town of Watery. We will again play as Alan himself in the Dark Place, which offers a changing reality with unclear rules.
If this was not enough for you, we have another interesting thing. If you follow and know the work of the Remedy studio, you probably recognize creative director Sam Lake. But this time, he gave his face not to Max Payne, but to Anderson’s colleague named Alex Casey. Yes, the full-fledged Alan Wake 2 also materializes the protagonist of the Wake books, inspired by Max Payne. So it makes perfect sense that he is played by Sam Lake, whose perpetual smile, furrowed brows and raised brows make up Max Payne’s face in the first part of 2001.
When will Alan Wake 2 be released? It turned out that his voice actor Matthew Porretta he didn’t poop a few days ago. The game will really hit the market in October this year, in particular October 17, 2023in the version for PC (Epic Games Store), Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. And since the game is published on all platforms by Epic Games Publishing, it is better to forget about the release on Steam.
